Irv, your answer seems to imply that as long as I use the correct code for a character, both Euphoria and EuGTK will be happy with it, and display it correctly. Am I getting this right?
It seems so. I just entered a new customer to my Euphoria/EuGTK accounts receivable program, and added a purchase for Mr. 我希望這將工作 ("I hope this will work" translated by Google).
Displays properly, and eu 'find' also seems to work, as it can select Mr. I Hope's transactions from all the others - including Mr.我不知道 ("I don't know")
Whether sorting works, I couldn't tell, as I don't know Chinese sorting rules. At least, it didn't break.
Note: this particular program uses Eu's serialize functions to save and load data files. write_lines() also works, I haven't tried others, but probably printf() wouldn't do.
MR. JENNINGS YOUNG MR. JEROLD YOUNG MR. BOB ZOBEL 我不知道 我希望這將工作Apparently, "I don't know" comes after Z :)
Edit: correction: printf() does work, displaying the names correctly on the terminal and in a customer printout.
Note: Punjabi also works, as does Hebrew - editing automatically goes into RTL mode when Hebrew text is pasted in.
